SMBIOS

In order to have working iServices, generate your own SMBIOS values like:

• Serial Number
• MLB (Board Serial Number)
• ROM
• UUID

Refer to SMBIOS Choices to pick the correct SMBIOS choice that fits your needs. To change SMBIOS go to EFI/OC/Config.plist > PlatformInfo > Generic > SystemProductName

Power Management

• The included EFI/OC/ACPI/SSDT.aml is for Intel Core i7-3770 CPU which is the one that my HP Desktop does have. If you have same CPU model on your HP machine, you are good to go, nothing is needed to be done.
• If you have different CPU, grab and copy your SSDT.aml that you previously generated that you currently use with Clover or OpenCore and paste it into EFI/OC/ACPI/ to replace the one i provided so you have Power Management for your CPU Model.

Note: this is still work in progress !
